In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 206,000, down 10%, while CNN averaged 106,000, up 3% and MSNBC posted 80,000, up 1%. In addition to the midterm coverage, the month saw what may have been the final January 6th Committee hearing.

In primetime, Fox News averaged 2.29 million viewers, down 1%, while MSNBC posted 1.18 million, off by 2% and CNN was at 624,000, down 6%.
